Correct Answer:
B. Consider
Correct answer: Consider. To smear is similar to libel (to defame), and to heed is similar to consider (to pay attention to). Both pairs are synonyms.
Background: In synonym analogies, both pairs of words have similar meanings.
- Ignore: “Ignore” is the opposite of heed.
- Forget: “Forget” is not a synonym of heed.
- Avoid: “Avoid” is not a synonym of heed.
Did you know? To heed advice means to pay attention to it.
Memory trick: Heed = pay attention = consider.
